Cemeteries
Click here to search our database for individual graves
The question often arises as to whether relatives can visit a cemetery on private land. State law grants the public certain rights for visitation during reasonable hours and for purposes associated with cemetery visits, but with conditions.

Existing Cemeteries in Bosque County
The table below displays all of the known cemeteries and gravesites that exist in Bosque County. If you think a cemetery is located in Bosque County but do not find the name in this table, check the other two tables at the bottom of this page for alternate/deprecated names and adjacent county cemeteries within a mile of Bosque County. Several cemeteries were relocated when the Brazos River was dammed up to form Lake Whitney.
Explanation of Headings:
- Name - Primary or "official" name of the cemetery. If the cemetery has additional, alternate, or deprecated names, they will be shown immediately below the primary name. If you click on the link, more detailed information about that cemetery is available including additional location information, directions, and notes.
- THC ID - Identification number assigned by the Texas Historical Commission.
- Hist. Desig. - Historical designation of the cemetery if one exists (THM = Texas Historical Marker; HTC = Historic Texas Cemetery)
- Nearest City/Community - The nearest city or community to the cemetery. The cemetery could be several miles away.
- USGS Topo - The 7-1/2 minute United States Geological Service topographic map upon which this cemetery is located.
- Map - Indicates whether the cemetery has been mapped or not. If you click on the link, a separate tab will open showing the location with a red marker on Google Maps ("yes" will point to the centroid of the cemetery while "vicinity" will point to only the general location). Google Maps may also place its own marker on the map (usually in green) but it is not necessarily reliable.
- Num. of Graves - Number of documented graves. Click on the number to display the graves. For the larger more active cemeteries, this number may not be up-to-date.
- Earliest Burial - Year of the earliest burial in this cemetery.
- Latest Burial - Year of the latest burial in this cemetery. For the larger more active cemeteries, this year may not be the latest.
This table is sorted alphabetically by "Name" but can be resorted by clicking on any of the column headings.

More About the Historic Texas Cemetery (HTC) Designation
The HTC designation is an official recognition of family and community graveyards and was developed in 1998 to help protect historic cemeteries by recording cemetery boundaries in county deed records to alert present and future owners of land adjacent to the cemetery of its existence. The designation imposes no restrictions on private owners’ use of the land adjacent to the cemetery or the daily operations of the cemetery. A cemetery is eligible for designation if it is at least 50 years old and is deemed worthy of recognition for its historical associations. The very nature of a cemetery being a landmark of a family’s or community’s presence is considered to validate the criteria of historical associations. Any individual, organization, or agency may submit a request for designation.
List of Historic Texas Cemeteries in Bosque County
The Official Historic Texas Cemetery designation can be obtained through an application process with the Texas
Historical Commission. Any individual, organization or agency may submit an application. To receive the designation,
the applicant must show proof that the cemetery is at least 50 years old and provide precise information on its
location. A processing fee of $25 is required. If a cemetery already has a Historical Marker, certain information
requirements in the application can be waived. Once processed, the cemetery is recorded in the county deed records
as a historic site and is eligible to display the Historic Texas Cemetery medallion. The medallion can be displayed
by itself, as an addition to an already existing Historical Marker, or with a new interpretive plaque with text
developed from the history. The cost of the medallion and plaques are additional but are not required for a cemetery
to be designated as an Official Historic Texas Cemetery. The designation does not restrict in any way the public
use or private owner's use of the land adjacent to the cemetery. Click here to find out more about the Historic Texas Cemetery program and download an application.
